Mabe something like the Cruisearms from Kuryakyn would help...

I don't have them but they look like a good solution. Good luck.

I'm running the Mark 4 Cruise Arms on my FatBoy, and they work great.

For added strength and stability they mount directly to existing holes in the frame, and not on the 'floorboards' like some.

Whether you get the Mark III or IV you'll LOVE them. I don't even use my floorboards anymore except when braking and shifting. Otherwise my foot immediately goes back to the highway peg. Once I grind down the floorboard, I'll switch to forward controls....maybe.

This doesn't take long. I am still trying to realizeI can't laymy Fatboy over as hard as hard as my GS1100E... LOL
There is not a lot of material left in the corners of my floorboards!

I have been pondering those cruise arms also. I personally prefer the simplicity of the MK III's

AMEN to that Road_Clam! I'm on my second set of floor boards on the old Fat Boy! Nothing like scaring the sh*# out of your fellow motorists, not to mention the showers of sparks from the steel blocks I "JB WELDed" to the back corners of the floor boards!! As an advanced riding instructor once told us, "If you're not dragging, you're not leaning."

Back to the topic, I have the Kuryakyn CruiseArms and love them. They fold up in tight places (trailer, ect) and make for very comfortable riding. As a matter of fact, my feet are there 90% of the time.

Ride safe,
God bless our Troops!

Amen to all the above. I "loosely" bolted up my Mark IVs. I've got to pull my exhaust off for some other things. Can't wait to get the cruise pegs going.

Is there a threat of the Cruise arms dragging also while leaned over hard?
